Sketch Book and other ramblings.


It's that time again where I show you some unfinished stuff. This afternoon I took a fancy to this pinky/blue/green colour palette and came up with a few different textures and patterns.
The rhino below is intended for something. I'll tell you what it is some other time.


It's pretty late, hence the dark photos. Hopefully I'll get this scanner working soon then I can start editing properly! I have some events coming up and some work to share soooooon I promise!

If you follow me on twitter, or know me in real life, you'll already be aware that I ramble on about whatever I've been listening to recently quite a lot. If you're interested, here's some records that have taken my fancy of late.




First, Django Django - Django Django, who I'm pretty sure have some real relationship to the Beta Band, but I can't remember what. Anyhow, you can tell. And I like it. Added bonus; they met at Edinburgh College of Art, and they're definitely not a jazz trio. Not that that would be a bad thing.

Next, Loch Lomond - Little Me Will Start A Storm. A band introduced to me by a friend who was supporting their final gig of their European tour earlier this month. I am hooked. Seeing them live was pretty breathtaking.  Extra info; they're not from Scotland, but Portland.

Finally, School of Seven Bells - Ghostory. I can't remember how I came across this band, what with last.fm and spotify, 6music, and whatever else, I'm aways stumbling across things that are either brand new or years old and not particularly paying attention to where it came from. Anyway I'm not gonna lie, I liked the album cover. It's very poppy/synthy/dreamy and well worth a listen.

See my last.fm or my twitter for other updates. I still want to do a run down of my top 10 albums of 2011 (see here and here for 2010) but 2012 is running away with me already.
